LYRIC FOR SALE

By J.T. Patten, Writer; LONE WOOLF LYRICS

My folks they hate my girlfriend
Sayin' she’ll never be family
Serves her free time in jail
Gets all of her mail
Sent to the penitentiary

Her neck and arms are full
Of battle scars and tattoos
Knuckles inked with another man’s name
She never says what she's been through
But I love her just the same

Chorus:
She sees me
She gets me
Makes me laugh like I never laughed so hard
She’s got a long snaggletooth
Her hairs not brushed
Her ass, big as a double wide
She’s got a knockout punch
Pees on a stump
Illegal carry’s a .45
But
She sees me
She gets me
Makes me gushy when she's by my side

We're at a bar one night toasting her release
Tempting fate but not the police
A dark stranger struts in
Bellies up for a drink
Says some shit and sends mean eye-stink

I try to pay him no mind
But soon he's crossed a line
I'm getting ready to throw down hands
I'm scared as hell, my fear he can smell
But for my snaggletooth love, I'll take a stand

(Chorus)

He laughed aloud
Threw his drink way back
Held his smile and then gave me a wink
Said his name was right there inked on her shaking hand
I was talking to her ex named “Dink”

I turned my head in a whirl
Saw a scared look on my girl
Choking back a lifetime of tears
She said I had no chance against him
He'll tear me limb from limb
Then she whispered these words to me

(Modified Chorus)
You see me
Defend me
Make me laugh like I never laughed so hard
I got a long snaggletooth
My hairs not brushed
My ass, big as a double wide
I got a knockout punch
Pee on a stump
Illegal carry’s a .45
But step away my love
Or I'll give you a shove
I do best on the inside

She reached behind her back
Squeezed up the trigger slack
I watched him fall back in a poof of pink
I saw the barrel smoke
He dropped his Crown and coke
And that was the end of Dink

So now I see her
She sees me
We laugh like we never laughed so hard
She loves me
I love her
And forty to life don't seem that far
She’s got a long snaggletooth
Her hairs not brushed
Her ass, big as a double wide
She’s got a knockout punch
Pees on a stump
Unlawful carry’s a .45
But
She still sees me
